Are you looking for a feline friend who will shower you with love and purrs? Look no further than these nine breeds, known for their affectionate personalities and love for cuddling. From floppy Ragdolls to playful Abyssinians, these cats will warm your lap and heart.
GINGER
Many ginger cat breeds are known for being particularly affectionate and cuddly. Most ginger cats are male. Male cats tend to be more laid-back and social than females, which could contribute to their cuddly nature. So much so, a research labeled them as the “velcro cat”.
“I have a Ginger; he is the most affectionate cuddler ever. I hope this helps!” says a user.
SIAMESE
Siamese cats are known to be social butterflies who crave interaction and companionship from their human family. They are energetic and playful creatures who enjoy interactive games and activities with their humans, such as playing fetch, chasing toys, or simply engaging in a playful wrestling match.
This playful nature can lead to lots of cuddling as they snuggle close to their humans for comfort and affection. Not only this, siamese cats are also a brilliant breed.
“My Siamese cat was a total lap cat growing up. She lived for fuss and love.”
MAINE COONE
These large, fluffy cats enjoy spending time with their humans and are often described as “dog-like” in their loyalty and companionship. While they are not lapcats, they are tactile and affectionate.
“My sister has two Maine Coones. One is a lap cat; the other likes his space,” says a user.
TABBY
Many Tabby cats are brilliant and emotionally attuned to their humans. This allows them to form strong bonds with their owners and express their affection in various ways, including cuddling. Remember to give them plenty of love, attention, and playtime, and you’ll be rewarded with a lifetime of purrs and cuddles.
“I have a Tabby, and this one is very cuddly. I think it’s a personality trait that any cat can have,” says a user.
NEBELUNG
The Nebelung, known for its beautiful long, blue-gray coat and mesmerizing emerald eyes, is not just a stunning sight; it’s also a loving and affectionate cat breed that thrives on human companionship. They also love to cuddle.
“The only breed I’ve seen that seems to have consistently high affection is a Nebelung. They’re not a cat for a large family. They have their person, and everyone else is a distant second. I was blessed to be chosen by one, and I’ll miss her for the rest of my life,” says a user.
RAGDOLL
These gentle giants are happiest when they are curled up on your lap or snuggled beside you on the couch. Ragdolls often follow you around the house and meow softly for pats and cuddles. Not to forget their luxurious, semi-longhaired coat that is incredibly soft to the touch and adds to their cuddly appeal, making them even more irresistible to snuggle with.
“I have a Ragdoll. The Ragdoll is literally like a ragdoll. He wants to sit on me and be held all the time. The most cuddly animal I’ve ever had,” says a user.
SPHYNX
The Sphynx cat breed is known for its unique hairless appearance, but their personalities are equally captivating. These playful and energetic felines are also incredibly affectionate, making them popular for people seeking a cuddly companion. Due to their lack of fur, Sphynx cats crave warmth and often seek out their humans for cuddles and body heat. Their warm, velvety skin feels delightful, making them irresistible cuddle partners.
“Sphynx cats do! They get cold very easily, so naturally, they love to cuddle. If you let them, most will lay on your lap all day, and that’s not an exaggeration. My cats will sleep on me at any moment I’m not standing up. They’ll return to my lap if they need to go to the bathroom. Or I’ll get up to do something, and they’ll patiently wait for me to return, then hop back on me as soon as I’m within range. It can sometimes be too much love!” says a user.
SIBERIAN
Siberians have a unique way of expressing their affection. They may nuzzle their heads against yours, purr contentedly, or knead their paws happily on your lap. These subtle gestures reveal their deep love and devotion and make them earn their reputation as cuddle champions.
“Add Siberian to that. Mine is a lap cat. He always wants to touch me. Then I read that a few other people had the same experience, and I read somewhere else about the breed being affectionate,” says a user.
NORWEGIAN FOREST CAT
Once they bond with you, Norwegian Forest cats become incredibly loyal companions. They will follow you around the house, always be happy to see you, and appreciate random cuddle sessions on their own terms. Although they are not lap cats in the traditional sense, they will often seek out their humans for a head scratch, a gentle ear massage, or a cozy spot to snuggle up next to.
“My Norwegian Forest cat loves cuddles. But, like most Wegies, he doesn’t like being picked up. So keep that in mind if that’s what you go for.”
